Steph is continually on the lookout for new products that easily solve a simple problem. This screen patch is one of those products. 

The very first Mother Daughter Projects DIY video and post was re-screening Steph's porch screen. That was almost six years ago and in all that time, the screening never required a repair, well, that is until after Tosh joined the household back in November!

Tosh is a retired racing greyhound. There is a bit of a learning curve as the retired racers learn about doors and windows and all things house related. In Tosh's case, she didn't "see" the screen door and ended up putting a small hole in it. 

Actually, Steph was a bit excited as she could finally try out this new screen patch kit!

Product:


  • Window Screen Repair Kit - 5"x7" Patch Charcoal (2 Patches) (Amazon)
